Events Kiss Me I’m an Amateur

Posted by Courtney Ferguson on Fri, Mar 16 at 2:20 PM

Tomorrow is Amateur Night AKA St. Patrick’s Day! Are you ready to get shit-faced drunk, flash your tits/scrotum, and generally make the biggest, sorriest ass out of yourself? Yeah, me too. Usually I avoid St. Paddy’s parties like the plague (or should that be “famine”?), because all the Greshamite amateurs flood into your favorite bars and order buttloads of Irish Carbombs—making me hate every human I come into contact with. But there’s some interesting Irish-themed fun going on…
First off the Moon & Sixpence (2014 NE 42nd) is having a blowout, with an outdoor tent (with an extra bar). There will be tons of music all day starting at noon. The first 50 people get a Guinness or Moon T-shirt. The cover will run between $5-10 (depending on when you get there). That’s most likely my choice of poison for the night.

(Does anyone else find this picture disturbing?)
I would also recommend checking out the Blitz Bar (110 NW 10th) who are having their grand opening tonight and tomorrow. They’ve flown in a band from Belfast called The Real Shindig. There’s also a big outdoor tent!

What’s everyone else up to?

Going to your mothers house for an orgy. No worries, we should be done before you stumble home at 3am. Make sure you don't come home before 1am!

The only thing insufferable about St. Pats are the legion of drunken assholes pretending they're Irish, puking where ever they happen to be slouching after that 3rd Irish Car-Bomb which, by the way, universally identifies you to any bartender as a complete shithell amateur. Having been through the hell of bartending St. Pats for enough years to know, it's the worst night of the year to go out for a drink. And don't fucking touch me, raise a pint with me, or try chatting me up. I'm not Irish & don't give a fuck if your great-grand pappy on your mothers side was.

Looks like the assholes are already out in force. A "party bus" just pulled in front of Squeez blasting "Sexy Back." I always thought that the night before St. Pats should be local's night. Of course, I always thought that one would die from embarrassment after exiting a bus blasting "Sexy Back."

I don't find that illustration disturbing at all. Looks like the old duffer has lucked out and found a teenage girl who'll polish his knob for a ha'penny or two.

Seriously, it's disturbing or not depending upon what you imagine going on beneath the bottom edge of the photo. You might try imagining him standing instead of sitting, as you are probably doing, because then it's just a girl with her father or grandfather. If you imagine him sitting, then you pretty much have to picture her on her knees between his legs.

I guess it depends on whether you have a dirty mind or not.
